I cannot save files to desktop Windows 10

[Bayleg]

All of a sudden (within the last 2-3 weeks) I have been unable to save files to my Music, Pictures and documents folders when using Brave. I am using Windows 10 1909 on a Dell 64 bit laptop. I have 200 Gb of available space so that is not the problem. All user/administrator have full read/write access to all folders.

I can save to Downloads, desktop and several other regularly used folders, but not the ones I indicated above.

Also, I have no problem when using Chrome, only Brave, so I assume there is a privacy/security issue that I can’t locate.

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. attempt to download photos from internet to Pictures folder
2. compare your settings to mine to see if there is a security setting that needs to be changed

*To be able to download files using Brave

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.8.96 Chromium: 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hi @Bayleg, Welcome to Community!
When you say:

Does nothing happen when you download the files? Do you get an error messages or any indication that the download happened?
Can you create a new profile and downloading files to the listed folders?
